    Excuses excuses excuses

     

    How does a stacked Supreme Court prevent President Biden from making better decisions about the economy?

    I think I go with the “it happened on his watch” theory of blame because these alternatives are, well, more depressing. But I fear that at least some of it is true. 

     

    This is not exclusive to Presidents.  We apply the same logic to QBs, CEOs, coaches, plant supervisors, etc.  It's part of leadership and  responsibility for what you manage or run.  After the Eagles game when Coach Brady was not on the field when Gabe ran the wrong way or Josh threw it they wrong way said it was his fault.  The CEO of Boeing didn't forget to tighten those door bolts causing it to fall off in flight, but he took the fall. See how this works?

    Uh huh.  I don't desire a civil war but if it happens, we'll be on opposite sides.  The most likely scenario involves trump losing or jailed.  That would make you a rebel.  Didn't go so well for them last time.

     

    If there were to be (there won't be) a civil war which you crave I know, I won't participate.  Let the young fools fight it out.  I got better things to do.

     

    Come on man. You're retired. Spark up a doob and drink some of your home brew and chill.  We don't have enough time left for this civil war nonsense.  

     

    PEACE

    Yes, done.  It was fair.

     

    Now let's work on the cro magnons in your party that can't accept 2020 despite failing massively in court 99.9% of the time.

     

    At this point it's gotta be the most scrutinized election in the history of our country.

     

     

    Not my party. Just cuz I question the Democrats doesn't mean I'm a Trumper.  That kind of black and white thinking is why we find ourselves so divided.

    The rest of your post takes a sincere tone. What is the above comment supposed to be? I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and think that it’s satirical. 

     

    The comment "Willing to die for their convictions" was not supposed to be satirical.

     

    I take them to be sincere.  They say they are on a hunger strike until their demands are met.  If the demands are not met and they stay the course, they'll starve to death.  Will take a lot of gumption to see it through either way it works out.

    Leftists are self-centered

     

     

     

    I actually give these people a lot more credit than 99% of the other protesters.  They are actually putting some skin in the game.  Willing to die for their convictions. 

      

    I read a Nicholas Kristof editorial in the newspaper Sunday (yes I take the old school printed newspaper).  He made some good points about the college demonstrations.

     

    I could not find a link for the whole article.

     

    Quote

    I’m shaped in my thinking by the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s. Students who protested then were right on the merits: The war was unwinnable and conducted in ways that were reckless and immoral.

    Yet those students didn’t shorten that terrible war; instead, they probably prolonged it. Leftist activists in 1968 didn’t achieve their goal of electing the peace candidate Gene McCarthy; rather, the turmoil and more violent protests helped elect Richard Nixon, who pledged to restore order — and then dragged the war out and expanded it in Cambodia.

    I think that history is worth remembering today. Good intentions are not enough. Empathy is not enough. I’m sure we all agree that it’s outcomes that matter. So the question I would ask you to ask yourselves is: Are your encampments and sacrifices — more than 1,000 protesters have been arrested so far, and unknown numbers have been suspended or expelled — actually helping Gazans?

    He wraps up the article saying if college students really wanted to help Gazans they could do 2 things:

    1. Instead of demonstrating, use the time and energy instead to raise money to send to Gaza for relief.  Give it to WCK or the Red Cross or start their own.
    2. Raise some money and send over a few student observers to go over and see what's happening on the ground. Then come back and report what they saw and what could help

    At this point, the protesters are taking attention away from Gaza and putting it on themselves.

  7. Who can forget Hillary being the presumptive favorite the day before the election 2016?  Or Steve Kornacki standing in front of his board a week before the election saying Trump has no path to victory.  And the 2022 mid terms. All based on polling.  

     

    I think in the current political world some people don't like to tell pollsters they are voting for Trump.  

     

    The election is 6 months away.  Lot of crazy stuff gonna happen before then.  I'm with @Tiberiuson this one Looking at polls now is useless. But what are polling companies gonna do? Poll.

    These people have no shame. Ben Carson for example, trump plants a story that he left a sponge in a brain and you want to be his VP? 

     

    Why not? Then Senator Harris called Joe Biden a racist on national TV and he still picked her for Veep.  

     

    These people (politicians) will do anything for more power and money no matter what.
